Odela 2 Box Office Day 1 Prediction: Tamannaah Bhatia’s Thriller Off to a Slow Start.

Odela 2, starring Tamannaah Bhatia, has finally hit theatres today (Thursday), just ahead of the Good Friday holiday. The makers made a smart decision to release it before the 4-day long weekend, hoping to benefit from the extended holiday. However, things aren’t looking very bright when it comes to the day 1 box office collection. Let’s take a closer look at how this Telugu thriller is expected to perform on its opening day.

About Odela 2

For those who don’t know, Odela 2 is a Telugu supernatural thriller and a sequel to Odela Railway Station, which came out in 2022. Interestingly, the first part was released directly on an OTT platform and skipped a theatrical release. It received mixed reviews from critics and didn’t really connect with a wide audience.

In this new chapter, Tamannaah Bhatia has joined the cast, bringing fresh energy to the story. Along with her, Hebah Patel and Vasishta N. Simha are back in their original roles. The film carries some buzz because it’s a sequel and because of Tamannaah’s presence, but overall, the hype is quite low.

Public Response & Promotion

The trailer and promotional material got a decent response online. Tamannaah’s involvement surely helped grab some attention, especially on social media. Still, the overall excitement around the movie is not strong enough to draw big crowds on the first day.

Another thing to note is that Odela 2 has been released with a limited number of shows, which might affect its overall collection potential.

Advance Booking Report

When it comes to advance booking, Odela 2 has had a slow start. It closed its day 1 advance booking with a gross collection of ₹53 lakh across India (excluding blocked seats). In terms of ticket numbers, over 41,000 tickets were sold before the release.

While these numbers aren’t terrible for a small-to-medium Telugu film, they’re not impressive either, especially considering the extended weekend opportunity.

Day 1 Box Office Prediction

Thanks to the sequel factor and Tamannaah Bhatia’s fan base, the film is expected to bring in some footfalls. Based on the current trend, Odela 2 is likely to earn between ₹2 crore to ₹3 crore net at the Indian box office on its first day.

The actual performance may improve if word-of-mouth reviews from the audience turn out to be positive. A supernatural theme always has potential, especially if the storytelling is engaging.

Comparison with Tamannaah’s Last Film

To give you a clearer picture, Tamannaah’s last theatrical release, Aranmanai 4, opened with a collection of ₹4.65 crore. Compared to that, Odela 2 may earn between 35% to 57% less on its opening day, which shows that expectations are not very high.

Final Words

While Odela 2 has made a strategic move by releasing before a long weekend, it seems to be heading for a modest start at the box office. Everything now depends on how the audience reacts to the film in the coming days.
